'''Opening:''' The camera travels down an infinite loop of the Hollywood Walk of Fame, where we see several movie-related items (i.e. a glass slipper, a box of popcorn, a soda bottle, etc.) on the left and right sides of the screen. We then zoom into a screen that shows a color-changing background and the aforementioned objects moving around while briefly morphing into blobs, before cutting back to the Walk of Fame where we see a box office gradually zooming in as the sky turns to a night sky and searchlights move around it. When the box office comes close to the screen, it cuts to the "{{Font color|red|{{Font|Impact|HBO FEATURE MOVIE}}}}" text animating as usual. | '''Opening:''' The camera travels down an infinite loop of the Hollywood Walk of Fame, where we see several movie-related items (i.e. a glass slipper, a box of popcorn, a soda bottle, etc.) on the left and right sides of the screen.

'''Opening:''' On a space background with a gridded floor, we see several bright lights drawing in a stylized movie theater complete with a box office and a marquee with the text "'''H.B.O. FEATURE MOVIE'''" on both sides. We then zoom into a {{Font color|#FFD900|yellow}} star on the marquee, and the screen cuts to more bright lights drawing in the interior of the theater. As we slowly zoom in, a {{Font color|red|red}} curtain on the center rises to reveal a {{Font color|blue|blue}} pair of curtains, which open as the camera zooms in and it fades to the "{{Font color|red|{{Font|Impact|HBO FEATURE MOVIE}}}}" text animating as usual. | '''Opening:''' On a space background with a gridded floor, we see several bright lights drawing in a stylized movie theater complete with a box office and a marquee with the text "'''H.B.O.

'''Opening:''' On a black background, {{Font color|purple|purple}} streaks rain down the screen diagonally as we fade to see a {{Font color|gray|gray}} rounded rectangle with a neon {{Font color|pink|pink}} outline rotating and zooming out, with an ocean at the bottom of the screen. When it disappears, a {{Font color|blue|blue}} circular flash brings forth a series of {{Font color|gold|gold}} bars that fly towards the screen at an angle. They eventually form a theater hallway with the ocean turning into a black floor, and a {{Font color|saddlebrown|brown}} screen quickly zooms in as the "{{Font color|red|{{Font|Impact|HBO FEATURE MOVIE}}}}" text starts animating as usual. | '''Opening:''' On a black background, {{Font color|purple|purple}} streaks rain down the screen diagonally as we fade to see a {{Font color|gray|gray}} rounded rectangle with a neon {{Font color|pink|pink}} outline rotating and zooming out, with an ocean at the bottom of the screen.

'''Opening:''' As we start with a man tuning the cable on a TV set for a channel (to HBO, of course!) in his apartment as he settles down on the couch with his wife with several food items (i.e. a tub of popcorn, a pizza cut into slices etc.) in front of them. The camera pans backwards and outside the window to show a somewhat busy city intersection with figurines of vehicles and people standing on the sidewalk at twilight. The music starts, and the camera "flies" forward down the street, through several intersections. At one point you can even see a movie theater with "HBO THEATRE" on the marquee. We fly over some buildings before going into the suburbs, with lots of trees. We fly over several houses and a clock tower. Then the camera pans up into the sky, which briefly takes sunset hues before becoming {{Font color|blue|blue}} and black with a starfield. We go up into space, eventually panning up to reveal the source of the light; a star (positioned near the top center of the screen) that gets brighter and brighter, and eventually explodes in a {{Font color|orangered|scarlet}} and {{Font color|blue|blue}} gemstone-shaped flash, leaving behind a shiny chrome model monolith. The monolith moves down and across the screen and rotates clockwise, revealing that it is the HBO logo, then turns around one more time as the camera then zooms in on the side of the "{{Font color|silver|'''O'''}}". The side of the "{{Font color|silver|'''O'''}}" disappears in a flash of light, revealing a stream of {{Font color|red|red}}, {{Font color|#FFD900|yellow}} and {{Font color|blue|blue}} rays streaking counterclockwise around a {{Font color|silver|silver}} axis, and "{{Font color|violet|'''HBO FEATURE PRESENTATION'''}}", in a heavy, {{Font color|violet|lavender}} 3D "gaspipe" font and with each word stacked on top of the other (as well as a line under "{{Font color|violet|'''<u>PRESENTATION</u>'''}}"), appears against an array of {{Font color|purple|purple}} lines. Some more rays sweep across the words and shine, then the background fades to black with more flashes from the surrounding rays. | '''Opening:''' As we start with a man tuning the cable on a TV set for a channel (to HBO, of course!) in his apartment as he settles down on the couch with his wife with several food items (i.e. a tub of popcorn, a pizza cut into slices etc.) in front of them.
